Jacquinot Bay

Papua New Guinea

Jacquinot Bay is a sheltered bay on the eastern coast of New Britain in Papua New Guinea. A wartime Japanese base and later Australian staging area, it remains a remote anchorage amid rainforest and volcanic mountains. Expedition visitors explore the bay's mangrove channels and coral reefs, visit traditional villages of the Sulka and other peoples, see WWII relics, and experience the largely unvisited coastline of New Britain's rugged east.
